Prithvi Shaw set to Debut in County cricket

[G. S. Kohli]

The One-Day Cup, a 50-over competition in the England and Wales Cricket Board domestic programme, starts on Tuesday, but the Northamptonshire Steelbacks are scheduled to play their first match against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham College, Cheltenham, only on Friday. Shaw will join the likes of David Willey and Andrew Tye in the Steelbacks' side. John Sadler is the county's head coach. Shaw (23) enjoyed a dream debut in international cricket, scoring a century against West Indies as an 18-year-old. But he has lost his way since and managed to play only four more Tests besides seven white ball games (six ODIs and one T20I) for India. Shaw will become the fourth Indian to be signed up by a county this season after Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Arshdeep Singh, and Navdeep Saini. Rahane had signed up with Leicestershire, but he pulled out of his contract to take a break.

Worlds oldest debutant. Fair effort at age 67

Tough paper rounds in Mumbai.

The years (and I cannot believe there's only been 23 of them) have not been kind.

I believe he's also now injured.

I remember all those years ago we used to not be kind about Samit Patel's shape!

Samit was a fat ****, but he never looked 20 years older than he was claiming to be.

There is no set formula to aging , it happens to everyone differently..
Wayne Rooney in football for example looked like a middle aged man in his early 20's , if he wasn't a professional footballer I suspect he would have aged even faster ..Its just genetics but hey I'm sure many people would trade that to able to play sport at such a high level .
